Focus Groups

Focus groups are free-format discussion groups that bring together people
who are interested in exploring any topic related to patterns. Interdisciplinary
topics are also welcome.

This is a chance for like-minded people to get into a room and rip!
There is no limit to the range of proposals. Groups may wish to consider
activities such as: pattern mining a new language, discussing experience
with an existing language, or exploring the links between software design
and design in other disciplines. These are only suggestions – possible
topics are limited only by your imagination!

Focus Groups will meet in the late afternoon on Thursday and Friday.
They also have the option of continuing to meet all day Saturday.

Prospective focus group leaders are invited to submit proposals that
include the following:

Name(s) and contact information
